If you are a rom-com person, Tell Me Lies is not for you. It is a series full of messy drama and conflicts. Tell Me Lies starts with a college romance, but it eventually gets messy with each episode.
It started with a simple college love story, but it eventually got messier with each passing season. Once a happy couple, they now want to ruin each other’s lives and also include other people they are related to. The show is worth watching, as it will keep you hooked.
Before starting, let me make it clear that the blog contains spoilers. If you haven’t watched Tell Me Lies season 1 and season 2, be cautious before starting to read.
What Happened in Season 1? Spoiler Alert
Unlike other series, Tell Me Lies is about revenge and confusion rather than a cute love story. Season 1 started with a college scene, where Stephen met Lucy.
This season shows the story of a young couple who were not meant to meet but ended up in a relationship. Stephen attracted Lucy with his charm, but she didn’t know that he had been hiding his lies and guilt from his past.
Season 1 also focused on the death of Macy, the girl who died in the car crash. For most of the season, the truth was unclear. But in the end, we get to know that Stephen was the driver and Wrigley took the blame without knowing the truth. Even Lucy didn’t know the whole story.
Season 1 ended with a huge twist after Lucy and Stephen met again at Wrigley and Pippa’s wedding. Lucy saw Stephen, and he looked different and mature, and she realised that she had never completely moved on. The show got more interesting when she got to know that Stephen and Lydia are in a relationship and are engaged. This left the fans cliffhanging with many questions unanswered.
Season 2: What Happened and Where It Ended?
Season 2 went deeper. It showed you the kind of emotional damage that happens when someone you love keeps twisting the truth. Lucy tried to move on, but Stephen pulled her back again and again. Their relationship became more toxic with each episode.
Here is what Season 2 focused on:
1. Lucy and Stephen’s messy breakup cycle
You probably felt the frustration, too. They kept breaking up and getting back together, hurting everyone in the process. Lucy struggled between wanting Stephen and hating how he made her feel.
2. Bree’s emotional storyline
Bree started facing real questions about who she wanted to be. She wanted stability, but she also felt trapped. Her story grew more personal, and Season 2 set her up for bigger conflicts in Season 3.
3. Wrigley is reaching a breaking point
Wrigley finally learned the truth about Macy’s crash, and this hit him hard. His trust in Stephen collapsed, leading to more tension within the friend group.
4. Diana stepping away from drama
Diana tried to distance herself from Stephen’s world, but you can tell she still carries emotional wounds. Season 3 will explore more of her life.
5. The ending of Season 2
The season ended with a deeper explanation of what it left in season 1. It ended in the reunion at the wedding of Wrigley and Pippa. The story ended, but fans needed more of it as the story felt incomplete. Viewers are curious to know what Lucy’s life will be like after all this mess, and what the story of Lydia and Stephen will be.
Release Date for Season 3
The date of the premiere is set for 13 January 2026. On the first day, 2 episodes will be out, and later the remaining episodes will be aired.
